Remarks am Keven In (tenerah
On till* Hiibject 1 w'ihlt to he fully understood. By tint
term “fevers,” I oomproheud all febrile uffectionn to
witich the human frame in nubject, Including email pox
and other eruptive fevers; lmt un they urine by a great
variety of cannon, and in quite dissimilar constitutions
and hahiln, they of courae differ considerably in their
development and exhibit a variety of forms or types;
yet all are distinguished by the name general chararter
latlca-v-that ol undue excitement In the circulatory and
nervous systems —inducing more or less unnatural fre
quency in the pulse, soOsn of heat., dryness of the skin,
debility, if.
To show that I am not wholly alone in the opinion 1
advance, I quote from the ctdohrafed I’rol. T. Watson,
of King's College, l.ondon, whose work on the “ I’rinci
plus and Practice of l’hystc” is a text hook in many of
our medical college*, and consequently riandardatithority.
tiu page 834, he says We hear continually, both in
anil out of the profession, different species of fever spo
ken of. Hv the |)tthlic, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever,
Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever, low Fever, Nervous Fever,
Ac. And systematic w riters are to the full as particular:
Mucous Fever, Atoxic, Adynamic, Gastro Enteric, mid
so forth Now, admitting that fever shows itself under
various forms, 1 am persuaded that the effect upon the
mind of ail this sub-division. Is had and hurtful. It
encourage* a disposition, already too prevalent, to pre-
HcrilHt for a disease according to its numt. There is no
line of genuine distinction between continued fevers,
that can he relied on. They run insensibly into each
other, even the most dissimilar of them, anil are often
traceable to the same cause.”
The above is a groat fact, one worthy of remembrance
and I Would impress on your minds the folly of hunting
up or troubling you self about a “ name;” if you have
fever, treat it at once as hereafter directed, and you
will be writ instead of any dlstinctcharoctor being devel
oped, so as to lie properly named by the most scientific.
This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula
tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed
side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases
(by myself and others) under a great variety of eir
cuuwtauees, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind,
and treat at once without regard to name, and rest
assured you will soon he freed from all dread of linger
ing and dangerous fevers. Hut as eases may have be
come developed before Ihu “ Fluid” is given, either by
neglect, or under some other treatment, I will describe
as briefly as possible the proper course to be pursued in
all of the most prominent fevers, though the “ Jtulea”
and Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those
accustomed to attendance upon the sick.

Ist. It should be given in throe or four times its own
quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at
pleasure.
‘2d. I’atiente must ho free from all currents of air,
(though there should always he free ventilation in the
sick room,) nor attempt to go about while under its in

not he questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor
attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever,
till their own natural feelings, independent of till extra
neous influences, induce them to rise or speak; nor
should any conversation he allowed iu their hearing, in
which they may feel more or less interested, but bo left
quiet to alt intents and purposes.
6th. Fluids should be allowed, while giving it as
plentifully, and ns long as the patient desires and no
longer ; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous
drinks, lemonade, tiny simple decoctions, or teas, either
cold or warm as parties may prefer or patients desire.
flth. Should patients experience any oppression or
faintness while in the lying posture, so as to occasion a
restlessness after the fever has passed oft, or enough to
occasion them to speak of it. they should have a little
wine, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little
spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and
breast maybe bulbed in cold water; either of which
will give immediate relief.

All persons over fifteen considered as adults, lor whom

require as much ns young, or those iu the prime of life;
nor females, as a general rule, as much as males.
There is no particular rare ueeessary in giving it to
children —those of ten years of age frequently having
taken full doses ; lmt for a little guide, I have given the
above table, with tlie remark that, us a general rule,
children require more than adults in proportion.
By observing tlie above directions, tlie medicine w ill
be found agreeable in all of Us effects, the expectations
of tlie most sanguine realized, and many perfectly

(lie lull benefit of the medicine may be obtained, and
not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob
servances.
IlilloiiH or It emit lent Fiver.
Give a triutpoufui of “ Fluid” (see rule Ist) once iu
two hours, till the fever is evidently passing off; this
constitutes the whole treatment in all simple eases of
fever, with such observances as are set forth iu the
“ Hull's.” But should there be promiuent local symp
toms, or knovru local existing causes, they should be
attetide*d to at once, aud while giving the “Fluid.”
See Synopsis.
If m any ease the h -wols are particularly ooustipalcd
or confined, give a , alhartic (see auxiliaries) with tlie
first portion ; they must be opened or tlie fever mny rise
again.
Where the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or
upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptib’”
to the influence ol medicine—not easily operated on by
medicine generally—a double dose, or two toaspoonsful
may be given at first with advantage, and even repeated
Iu two hours—if it—the pulse—has not been softened,
thus showing the medicine has taken effect.
Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable
temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits and
water, iu these difficult cases, will afield relief and aid
the medicine much in taking effect.
Congestive Fever.
Oive two tcasp wnsliil and repeat every two hours till
the pulse becomes more full and soft, then only a tea
spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As
the bowels are generally confined, and it is frequently
very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease,
no tints should be lost to get them open, give some active’
cathartic with the “ Fluid” aud repeat a* may la’ neces
sary till H operates; enemas (Injections) may also be
used to advantage; also, mustard to the extremities, or
friction (I'ubblug) with the hands or flannel; also, cold
applications to ilia bead. Quinine may be added to the
“FI rid” if thought advisable. See Synopsis.
Nervous Fever, Typhus, Ship mill Putrid
or fipottrd Fever.
As these fevers are all of one character, differing
mainly in degree, beitig all of a low grade, the pulse
small aud wiry, with a geueral great depression, thero is
no practical use in separating them—at least so far as
my treatment is concerned. In those low fevers, when
fully developed, a little patience will be required; still”
comparatively little, ns they frequently rim weeks under
tho common treatineut. while with this but a few days
will be necessary at longest to establish a permanent
convalescence.
The treatment should be commenced —which may
immediately follow any other without detriment—with
a teaspoonful of *'Fluid” every two hours, till Die pulse
becomes fuller or larger in volume, then to be oontiuued
once in six or eight honrs till the fever entirely subsides.

As all of these disease,- are attended witii isver, wll-ii

never wait to learn tho “name,” whether itis utiu or the

will be regarded with ridicule by many. 1 ncveriJe h ,-s

I direct, wiU l/t: cut short; ul tended with lmt little erup

not only my reputation, but a.J t lust 1 hold most dear;
besides, on tins subject, I iiave good authority; that ol
Prof. W atson, previously quoted. Hi- says, page 6,4:
“You may abate tlie force of tlie eruptive lever, ami

1 u one case, on the ship Duchess and Orleans, tlie tongue

Fluid on his tongue, drop by drop, till In-could swallow,
when it vvius given in teospooidiil doses cnery hour, till
all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of
the throat was reduced so as to enable him to take nour
ishment In about twelve hours by tin- Fluid alone.—
Used to wet the throat frequently, it is doubtless the
best gargle ill all such cases.
I’ncrpcrnl or < itililli, <l Fever.
This heretofore painful, dangerous ami alarming
malady to which tho mother is liable, will yield to the
Negative Klectric Fluid with hui Ii readiness, as to s, cm
to b* of little consequence. A Single dose or two of a
teaspoouful, almost invariably giving entire and per
manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the
Fluid will arrest It in a short time, it should lie re
peated as long as the lover continues, as in other cases.
Tile bowels of course should Is* attended to.
In connection with this subject, I cannot refrain from
making a few general rvinprks, which,'if regarded by
the ladies, will save them much pain and safl’ering. It
is to inform them of the lmppy effect of the Fluid in
many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and
soothing riled deprives the labor of much of its pains
and difficulties; it must he tried to he appreciated.—
Painful menstruation will lie relieved at once by a com
mon dose andretiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability,
ora cold taken at a delicate time, is easily relieved by
its use; iu short, it is one of the most convenient and
effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not
the most so of any medicine known, its effect is uniform,
relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability
and it liability of tlie nervous as well as (lie circulatory.
It w ill not force sleep like opiates, lmt it will sooth aud
quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and
healthy ; hence its use in so many cases.
Synopsis.
To avoid constant repetition, and condense tlie treat
ment as much as possible, I give under 1 ills head general
directions tor all coses. As the Negative Klectric Fluid
will change the condition called lever, or subdue and
control it under all circumstances, without regard to the
name it may he or ought to be called, it should be given
wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex
pected to control all organic or local causes, which,
when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a
permanent cuie.
When such indications occur in any case, they should
be appropriate means, and these sohuill la* given while
giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when
occasion requires, as they will then more readily act,
producing more general effect, besides no unnecessary
time will then be lost. As the ’, Fluid” alono will sub
due tho fever, 1 call all else auxiliary treatment.
if the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili
aries) with tlie first dose, or soon after, and should it
fail lo operate in due time, repeat the dose; if attended
with diarrluea, give something known lo lie good for
that complaint, though if caused by irritability, the
“Fluid” will soon relieve that condition ; if severe local
pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment,
a mustard plaster, a blister, fomentations of hitter herbs,
or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part: if
violent pain in tlie head, apply cold water, ice water,
if convenient, or some cooling application, and bathe
the feet in hot water; if file lover is very high, skill
dry and hot, w ith great snivel ing, sponge or bathe the
w hole surface with water at an agreeable temperature;
“the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and
water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi
cine in.taking effect, alter which there will be uo trou
ble: it the patient lias been reduced or is much prostra
ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low
fevers, iu absence id’ fever or when indicated; also,
during convalescence, when the patient has become re
duced ; if there is nausea and vomiting. Hint must be
allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach
to do any good; lor this purpose i generally give some
gentle emetic to cleanse the stomach; warm water, if
given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the
stomach has settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if
necessary; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms
as y on would under any other circumstances, giving the
” Fluid” at the same time as directed, ami success w ill
crown your efforts; indeed, you cannot realize it till you
have seen, aud then you w ill be astonished at tlie ease
wit It which you can control all febrile excitement.
Auxiliaries.
Parties may foci at u loss to know what is meant by
cathartics. Ac., us physicians are usually particular
about wlmt is used. I have found uo such necessity
when using the Fluid, and to lie fully understood by
all. 1 will name a lew of the different articles of medi
cine 1 have referred to, viz:—
Cut liurt lea. —Articles that purge or operate on the
bowels, such as castor oil. salts, senna, any of the l oots
ot- luuks, and many pills, autibllioiis, A,.; anything
known to lie good for such purposes.
Ileputtcs.—Anything known to net outlie liver
particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally
Any of tiie articles depended on by tile different schools
lor this purpose, will answer when used in connection
“dll the “Fluid” or while the system is under its in
fluence. And one may choose calomel—another, blue
mass—the third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake
root, and so on; each may take Ids choice and be sue
const ill.
Tonic**—Artickw that tone or strength, such
as ijuinino, various harks, roots ami bitter herbs. Mono*
so: or thorough wort is one of tho Us! used in It \n >.
Astringent*.--Such as check the uelion of tho
is.w els. laudanum and other pivparations of opium are
used: also, many mixtures, not properly a-tn, - eni
whieli have the effect.
Stimulants.— Articles that raise or excite the
system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tho lic-t:
ginger, spirits, hartshorn. Ac., the essences are till mure
or less stimulating. These are the only classes nerossa
ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally
used, but the Negative Klectric Fluid is a better •• dia
phoretic.’’ “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” ami
‘■ sedative” than known in the innhtia uto/ioi.
1 shall net tax the reader with a long list of proofs
datveioling mainly ou the results of a trial, and will
only refer to one instance of success, that on the
Packetsliip Duchess D’Orlenn*.
which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates ■
M'o, the undersigned, certify to the” folluvvin.:, \ lz—
n o took passage on the packetsliip Duchess d\>i leans
t apt Hutton, then lying in tho port of Havre. Fra nee’,
and isiund for New York. She sailed on the nth of Au
gust, 1801, with over s bundled souls on board, mostly
emigrants- A few days after leaving Havre, the small
pox broke out among the emigrants. They were all
treated by the physician m charge,Dr. X. U . Scat, with
anew remedy of his own, which he calls Negative Klc,
tiie Fluid, with which lie seemed to have entire control
over the disease, arresting it in a few hours, and cm in*
in a very short time.
During the voyage, which lasted thirty-nine days,
there word about eighty cases of small pox, some h-v'er.’
Ac., and not a single death. All were cured wit 1> unu
sual promptness.
From what we saw during said passage, we are fullv
convinced that the medicine used by Dr." Seat ou the oc
casion, possesses inestimable virtues. We never before
heard or retd of febrile affections being controlled with
so much ease,promptness and certainty, or so liitic

whether arising from Marches, stagnant water, decompo

winch neutralizes the poison whenever it comes in con
lact wiili ii. even in the open air, arid when taken inter
nally cnisipli t< ly purifies the system affected by it of its
baneful influence, and thus restores and preserves
health.
The remedy is believed to be entirely new, aud un
known to any but the. proprietor, who distinctly claiihs
the follow ing extraordinary results from its use:
Jt will inscantly clefck the ague in persons who have
suffered lor any length of time, from one day to twenty

exposure to malaria should rnuke its use again necessary.
In its operation upon tie- poison in the system, it will
immediately relieve all tho distressing symptoms of bil
ious or ague diseases, and when the disease is cured, it
will entirely prevent tlie accession of
(atm rati Debility ami Sweat Is,
which so often follow the administration of other mede*
cities. The patient at oiich begins to reever appetite

And pursue their retipoftive avocations in perfect safety
from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season,
which is often to them the most valuable part of the
year.
►Since the introduction of tlie CUIIK in every part of
the I nit and Status, its success has been so complete and
unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in
favor of its ext r.ionlinary merit.
When these declarations were made at tlie date of its
in I roduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of
the most candid infmls, because nil the resources of
science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious
diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers,
all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or
empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive
drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercury, Saticine, 6lc.
The effects of these are sometimes worse than tlie disease
they subdue, and when such remedies foil, or give only
temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded
to the poor sufferer's first complaint.
On this account ague sufferers should be particularly
careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies,
notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert
they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is
notoriously well known that their potency depends
solely upon destructive poisons.
Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable
on account ol its power to cure diseases, but that itis
also
Worthy of Public Confidence,
Because of its
Singular Entire Ilarmlessness,
The tollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated
chemists m the United Staffs has been obtained, and a
copy of it is attached to every bottle:
New York, June 11, 1 Sfs.
k, l have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested
it lor Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but
have not found a particle of either in it. nor have J found
any substance in its composition t lint would prove inju
rious to the constitution.
“JAMES K. ( HILTON, M. I)., Chemist.”
If i a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is
destined not only to relieve the human family from
malarious diseases, but to a- an equally good work by
preventing the taking of other medicines w hich do harm.
The entire absence of any baneful ingredient makes
this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a
preventive.
No class of disease is so easily managed as the one
under consideration, if the medicine he taken in advance.
This is owing to the diseases being produced by one an.i
the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and
travelers, should protect themselves by the timely use
of this preventive, and not wait tor the poison already
lurking in their veins, to develop itself in a violent
attack. Take the Cure as a preventive, and so destroy
the poison before it does barm.
Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life
prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in
a bilious climate now accompany each bottle.
It will often be found necessary to precede this medi
cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The
very best thing for general use is a moderate dose of
Ouster Oil, tin- object of which is to cleans-* the stomach
and free the biliary passages. Remember that where
this is necessary, or there is costiveness, it mi st bk taken
or the operation of the nntidote will be seriously ob
structed.
Only Cant lon*—ln certain specified cases, pour
tin* contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into
shallow vessels, (dining plates,! and place them in
sleeping room.*-; for the vapor rising from the medicine,
and also the air wafted across, or circulated over the

pay for it, and they were all satisfied. X had one case
of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the maneaifie

Evidence from n Clergyman.
Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Bept. 25,1855.
Air. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Fir —1 cheerfully testify to
the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady
in tlie family of a clergyman hero lias been taking an
“ AGUE BALSAM” for some mouths with out any per
manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of
tlie Cure and has not had a chill since. A young man
also used the same Balsam some time without relief
until he got abottle of your Cure. So far it works like
a charm. Y'ours truly,
Rev. A. C. DUBOIS.
Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician.
Montickllo, UhL, Aug. 27, 1855.
J. A. Rhodes —Dear Fir—l have been in the practice
of Medicine here lor about three years, and can con
scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it
myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with
perfect success. Respectfully yours,
’ ‘ YV. G. SPENCER.
Louisville No. 11, C. R. R., Ua., Jan. 1, 1850.
Your Ague Cure has overcome nil prejudices by its
merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called
who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, aud de
sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I
can in its sale. ‘ YV. A.IIAYLES.
If any body desires further evidences, they will find
it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro
duced as vapidly as possible in .o every town and village
in tlie United States, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem
ist. Dr. J. R.Chilton, of New Y ork, certifies to its per
lrct innocence. It is therefore optional with all to have
the Fever and Ague or not, just as they please.
1 can also say that a great many of my largest custo
mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to
take tlie Cure on commission. They thought its great
claims and pretensions could not be realised. Now they
endorse them all. and it will bo noticed that tlie letters
ot which l publish su -h immense’ quantities are always
new and late dates—altogether they would more than
fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc
cess and hhl than evernttended any other Ague Remedy.
Tlie Crowning Glory
of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which
allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by
using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea
sons, not a man woman or child in the United States
would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague,
Bilious or Yellow Fever, or any form of disease arising
from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the
Cure is a perfect nntidote.
It is also unequalled for quick and permanent effects
us a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all
whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by
Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de
bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
